Woops, no updates for a while, huh? Believe it or not, we’ve been busy.

We had a great time at Church, we’re delighted to be back Wednesday December 19th as part of Preacher Jack’s residency.

We’ve been doing pre-production for our next album — we’ll be recording in December for a spring 2008 release. We’re working again with Chris Cugini at Appleman studio.

We have another compilation appearance, this time on Heyday RecordsSometimes I Think I’m On TV, which also features artists like Tommy Tutone, David J (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets), and Marty Willson-Piper (The Church). Our contribution is "Turn It Up." When we mastered Tune You Out, we actually did two master mixes. This compilation features the alternate ("70’s punk") version.

After almost 40 years, the Kirkland Cafe is closing its doors as new ownership takes over in June. The Kirkland Cafe was always
very supportive of The Hyphens (and many other bands), and we’re saddened by the loss.

Booker Mickey Bliss is putting together a two-night “Memorial Meltdown,” and we’re proud to be part of an excellent bill with Radio Knives, The Coffin Lids, Red Invasion, and many more. We’re on Saturday May 26th, at 10pm.

The Hyphens will play this show as a trio, as John Skinner is no longer with the band. We wish John well in his future endeavors, musical and otherwise.

Saturday February 24th we’ll be at Jake’s Bar and Grill, in Providence, RI, with the very excellent Static of the Gods. Jake’s is “a warehouse-style restaurant with plenty of character.” located at 373 Richmond Street, phone 401-453-5253.

You can pick up Get It Straight from us at shows (f’rinstance, at the Abbey Lounge Thursday Jan 25), order it securely from CD Baby or download it at the iTunes Music Store.
You can see if the good folks at WMBR radio care to spin a tune for you, too — (617) 253-8810. We’re honored to have been added to the ranks of band’s featured on WMBR’s terrific local music show Pipeline!
